Abstract
Today, the role of the social perception of urban space is scarce in the documents that guide the adequate integration of the urban development of cities. A better understanding of the influence of social relationships within the city allows new knowledge to be brought to the underlying mechanisms of vulnerability and social exclusion in the urban space. This work focuses on studying the relationship between the quantitative approach of current urban vulnerability reports and a qualitative approach based on social perception, developed within the framework of the Social Risk Map of Zaragoza (Spain) research project between 2014-2017. The cartographical analysis shows that the risk of social isolation is not greater unequivocally in the areas currently characterized as vulnerable and reveals the importance of this type of research for city and urban planning activities.

Summary
El estudio de la esfera social en la ciudad pone de manifiesto la importancia de las redes de apoyo mutuo (familiar, vecinos o minorías étnicas), al configurarse como recurso prioritario a la hora de hacer frente a los procesos de exclusión social. El estudio de la red de apoyo social es fundamental en la investigación sobre la ciudad y la planificación urbana, si se pretende alcanzar de manera propia y durable en el tiempo unas condiciones de calidad de vida equivalentes para los distintos sectores sociales, con independencia de intervenciones o condicionantes externos y del lugar de residencia. Esta cuestión se aborda a través de un análisis cualitativo que investiga cómo operan, desde el punto de vista de la percepción social, las redes de apoyo identificadas en el conjunto de la ciudad o área urbana. ©EURE | vol 45 | no 136 | septiembre 2019 | pp. 31-50 entorno urbano concreto, puesto que contar con información georreferenciada es clave a la hora de elaborar una cartografía del riesgo social
